Mr. T. C. Mitchell, of this conuty,
sold iu Winatou recently u load of cab

Wc learn that there is a school com

Such a mau may be a good oitizon, but

school arrangements of the county.—
Last yoar it was said that some only ac

Mr. Edward Richardson, of Missis

bale, would amount to $850,000. Tho
plantations he owns in the Mississippi
Valley .were valued before the war at
$12,000,000, though they did not coet
one-fourth of that sum. Mr. Richard
■oft ii a native of Rockingham county.
Young man, you complain that you
have nothing to do. You have no right
to oomplaiu. The fault is your own.—
There iB a demand in this couutry for
one hundred thousand houest, sober, in
dustrious young men more than the
country oan supply. If you aro honest
and capable you need not fear. If you
have no capital of your own, somebody
with capital will find you and give you
good pay for yoar time. Remember
that the demand for young men of this
character is mnch greater than tho sup
ply.
SAM JONES ON TIIE DRAMA.—A
man who will give 75 cents to go aud
see Louise Pomeroy on tho stago half
nnde, and prefers this to going to his >
prayer-meeting, isn't half decent and 1
wouldn't wipo my feet on him. The
truth is, 1 have a profound contempt for
these theatre people, anyhow. If any
of you say your church is not opposed to
card-playing, dancing and drinking, 1
am here to tall you that you lie. If my
ohsrch believed in it 1 wouldn't stay in

in dealing out taffy to these gentlemen

Wo happen to know, however, that there

There is a good opening for a school
in Danbury if some mau, or woman, with
braius in their head, energy in their
acts, and the kind of sand in their giz
zard, that will prompt thein to do their]
wholo duty, and be determined to sue- j
ceed would take hold af it. One party j
here will pay such a teacher sls, or
S2O, per month to teach his children,!
I others will pay larger or smaller
amounts, some persons in the country
around will lend a helping hand even
| the first seassion, and when it is known
that the school will be permanent, and
that the teacher is competent, it nill in
crease one session with another. No
young courting Misses who will neglect
their school to be with some dudo of a
boy, neither are law students, novel
reading young men, who will sit in the
school room aud read law or novels, while
the children practice the deviltry learn

If you waut to build a school and are
determined to do your duty address this

"Uir I »•, - N«JI IKE."
Elder Hopkins was the pastor of a
rural congregation, and a hardshell
Baptist who hit straight from the shoul
der, and generally succeedod in knock
ing out the Bins of the pcoplo. Two of
his deacons were the pillars of the
church, whom we shall call Uncle Benny
Jones and Squire Brown. Of 'Squire
JJrown it may bo said he preteuded to a
good deal of piety that he did not pos
sess, while Uncle Ben was inclined to
bibulosity aud ottcu attended church
under the "influence," owing to tho
fact that the time elapsing between Sat
urday night and Sunday morning was
too short to sober up.
One Sunday morning Elder Hopkins
concluded to wind up his sermon with a
pointed allusion to the besetting sins of
his two deacons. In a solemnly impres
sive voice he said :
"There are certain sins to which 1
desiro to refer particularly this blessed
morning. Take the sin of intemper
ance and drunkenness, for instance.
Ram has slair. more than war, famiue
aud pestilcnco. Where is tho drunk
ard t"
Instantly, with a tremendous effort.
Uncle Bonny Jones assumed the per
pendicular, somewhat curved after
the stylo of an interrogation point, and
exclaimed :
"Here I am (hic)old boss ' (hiol Hero
1 am (hio) a-listenin' to you 1"
The sudden and unexpected rosponso
brought down the house, bnt in no way
diseonoerted Elder Hopkins, who af
ter tho laughter had subsided, proceed
ed :
"Brethren, while 1 have animadverted
severely upon the sin of drunkenness,
there is a still greater sin of hypocrisy.
Wheic is tho hypocrite !"
No one responded, and Undo Ben
reached ovor into the next pow ; wnere
'Squire Brown sat, and gently shaking
him up, said in a loud aud earnest
voice :
"Oil up, 'squire ; (hie) gi: up, I got
up when bo called mc !"
The congregation dismissed itself
without waiting for the benediction.

To MY I'nrKNtis RK'IAHW.! >s OF TAKTY
Many friends havn solicited mc to
apply for a foreign mission under the
present administration. I have finally
consented to di so, and last week tiled
application for such missions as might
still bo vacant.
To insure my appointment, much will
remain for you to do. I now call upon
my friends to aid me by t heir united
| effort. I especially solicit the aid of
'my friends who have repeatedly here
! tofore promised it to me while drunk.
I You will see at a glance that I can
only make tho application. You must
j support it by your petitions and letters.
; It would be of little uso for one man to
write five thousand letters to tho presi
dent, hut if five thousand people each
write him a letter in which casual ro
i fi'rcncn is made to my social worth and
|7t octave brain, it will make him pay
attention.
My idea would b3 for each of my
friends to set aside one day in each week
to write the president, opening it in a
chatty wuy by asking him if he does
not think we arc haviug rather a back
ward spring, and what ho is doing for
his cut-worms now, and how his folk*
are, etc. Then gradually lead up to tho
statement that you think 1 would be an
ornament to the administration if 1
should go abroad and linger on a for
eign strand at $2,000 per linger and
stationery.
This will keep the piesident properly
stirred up and causo him to earn his
salary. The effect will be to secure
i the appointment at last, as you will see
lif you persevere. I need not add that
' I will do what is right by my friends
upon receivic g my commission.
Ho uot neglect this suggestion because
it comes to you in the form of a circular,
but remember it aud act upon it. Kc
mcinber that, although the president is
as stubborn as Sam Hill, ho will at last
yield to fatigue, when tired na
ture cau bold out no longer, the last
letter will drop from his nerveless hand
and he will surrender.
Some of you will urgo that I have
been an offensive partisan, but when you
come to think it over I have not been
so all fired partisan. There have been
days and days when it did not show it
self very much. However, that is not
the point. I want your hearty endorse
ment, and I want it to be entirely j
voluntary, and if you do not give it, and
give it freely and voluntary, you hadn't
better ask mc for any more favors.
All the newspapers most heartily in
dorse me. The Rocky Mountain Whoop
very truthfully says :
"Mr. Nye called at our office yester
day and subscribed for our paper. We
arc proud to add him to our list of paid
i up subscribers, and should he renew his ]
| subscription next year paying in advance j
jwe will cheerfully refer to it among
| other startling news."
I have a scrap-book full of such press
indorsements as '.his, and now, if my
friends will peel their coats and write as
they should, 1 can make this aduiinis
trat on open its eyes.
Several papers in lowa havo alluded
to my being in town aud referred to the
fact that I paid my bill while there.
But press indorsements alone is not
sufficient. What is needed is the
written testimony of friends aud neigh
bors. No matter how poor or humble
or worthless you may bo, write to Mr.
Glcvelaul and tell him how much con
fidence you have in mc, and if you cau
call to mind any little act of kindness,
or any times when I have got up IU the
night to give you a dollar, or nurse a
collicky horse for you throw that in.
I Throw it in anyhow, it will do no harm
and may do much
I can solemnly promise all my friends
that if they will secure my appointment
to a foreign country for four years, I
will not return during that time. What
more can 1 offer 1 I will stay longer, if
lam reappointed. I would do anything
for my friends.
Do not throw this oircular carelessly
aside. Bead it carefully over and act
upon it. Some of you aro poor spellers,
and will try and get out of it in that
way. Othors aro in tho peuitontiary,
and cannot spare the time. But to
ono aud all I say write, aud write) reg
ularly, to the president. Do not wait
for a reply from him, because he is
pretty busy now ; but be will be tiok
lod to death to hear from you, and any
thing you say about mo will give hiia
great pleasure.
N. B.— l'lcasc be careful not to
inclose this circular in your lotter to
tbo president.
Yours truly, BII.L NYE.
Hun SON, Wis.
Duty of every kind has iu it tho ele
ments of pleasure, and, if we do not
discover and appropriate them it is our
own fault. If we study the principles
of our life-work, dwell upon its details,
and strive to protect it as much as pos
sible, we shall insensibly learn 'to love
it and feci no sacrifice for it too groat
a burden.
